Knop form questions

[Brian Loomis-2]

I'm messing around with knop form this morning and have some questions.

1) Is is possible using this: [$form -> renderform( -xhtml=true)]  to  
get the form pieces to follow any other format than the <br />  
delimited format? For example, I'd like to continue to use forms  
inside of 960 grids so I have control over the spacing precisely.

2) It looks like there may be several points where the output could be  
adjusted to wrap the forms pieces in <li></li> instead of the <br />.  
Is anyone doing this yet?

I guess to be more clear, can you use an HTML template and render each  
component separately inside of unque areas?  Spans or divs' for example?

Yup.

$f->renderform(-from=x,-to=y); // where x and y are the starting
and ending index values of form objects in the config file.

or

$f->renderform(-name='name');

Yup.  Using an iterate for example:

<ul>
[
     iterate(array('field1','field2',...,'fieldN'), local('i'));
         '<li>' + $f->renderform(-name='name') + '</li>';
     iterate;
]
</ul>

You can also use string string_replace on
$f->renderform(-name='name') to modify the output.

-from and -to can also take names.

As you probably already know you can specify a template for the form with the -template parameter, either when creating the form object or using the ->setformat tag afterwards.

The default template looks like this
#label# #field##required#<br>

So I guess you would use a template string like this
<li>#label# #field##required#</li>
